It’s not about a guy who’s afraid of coming out; it’s about a guy who’s not connected with quote-unquote ‘gay culture.’” Critic Michael Glitz described Epstein’s performance as “immensely appealing” and wrote that the three-member cast “elevated the show considerably with their charm and chemistry, led by Epstein’s increasingly substantial stage chops.” New York Times critic Andy Webster wrote, “Mr. Epstein ably embodies a vaguely passive-aggressive, noncommittal male archetype.”
